To the Metkayina clan, Ao'nung is the golden son, the future Olo'eyktan, and the most eligible bachelor on the reef. To Mateya, he's just the skxawng whose food she steals and who pulls her tail every chance he has.
He is the cocky heir to the Olo'eyktan; she is the clan's fiercest warrior, haunted by the whispers of a spiritual destiny she isn't ready to claim and by the loss of her parents when she was 15, destined to live by herself in her family pod, growing up with Ronal and Tonowari's guide and her friendship with Ao'nung, Tsireya and Rotxo.
But when the pressure of leadership and the arrival of rival suitors force them to face their unspoken feelings, their playful banter and teasing turns into a slow-burn fire.
